BOOTHVILLE-VENICE, La. — Water pressure is restored in the Boothville Venice area but residents are still under a precautionary Boil Water Advisory from the Boothville Sewerage Plant to Venice.

Residents in the Boothville-Venice area of Plaquemines Parish were temporarily without water for several hours Saturday night.

On Saturday, the Plaquemines Parish Facebook page said a contractor struck a hydrant and it was damaged “significantly” leading to the loss of water pressure.

The advisory will be in place until the results are confirmed to be okay.
